Grad School

I am sorry that I seemed to pick up there for a while and have now let you down. I can't believe half of October is already gone! Where is time going? In the time I have not posted, I have been working on the house, school, and my graduate school application. Today, actually just a mere fifteen minutes ago I submitted my application to Virginia Tech's Graduate School! I feel confident and proud of myself. This has been quite the process and I'm glad that this load is now off my shoulders. Please say a prayer if it's God's will that I be accepted. I received a confirmation email (already) that my application has been received and that I should hear something in roughly two weeks. Now starts the waiting and anxiety, but I know everything's in God's hands. In the  meantime I'm off to working on the house. Again, I promise to start posting some before/after pics in the next few days! Have a blessed weekend!

For the love of...

Fall! Oh how delicious that word tastes in my mouth! I absolutely love fall, it is by far my most favorite season. [I may be slightly biased since my anniversary and birthday are in November.] Everything about fall screams out at me. I perhaps have a slight affinity with it. ;-)

If you haven't noticed, I haven't updated the blog in quite some time, but with Fall finally here, I felt a change would be good! So as the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new! I took down the 'ol spring/summer look and added a pie, an owl, some leaves, lots of plums and browns and voila, the blog had a makeover! I apologize for not posting pictures on the house, we were out of town last weekend and haven't had any time to really work on anything. The good news is that we've finally narrowed down a color for a our bedroom, so we hope to get to work on that this weekend! Anywho, I hope you're having a marvelous Tuesday! 

A Change Will Do You Good!

The Longs on their wedding day!

My hair was getting long and fussy and boring so I cut it. Yep, you read that correctly! Yes it was on a whim. A pure spur of the moment let's make it happen scenario. Let me rewind and set the scene.

It was about a month ago when the hubbs and I were visiting another couple-friend of ours: the Longs (Adam & Kathryn). Back in college, Kathryn and I both wanted to be teachers, she wanted to teach elementary and I wanted secondary; so we had the whole education connection AND we were RAs together during the 2007-2008 school year. So needless to say we've become good friends.

Short and Sweet!

Anywho, we decided that it would be nice to have a weekly get together, mainly because Kathryn and I need some socialization as well as a break from school work in the evenings. Trust me, if you knew what kind of schools we worked in you'd completely understand! So long story finally coming to a close, Kathryn took cosmetology in high school and is able to cut hair, and she's pretty darn good at it! So after eating dinner and chit-chatting, I asked, she cut, and now this is my new look and it has done me good. Thank you Kathryn!
